Long
considered the standard in composting
toilet performance, the EXCEL is the
preferred self-contained electric model
for heavy or residential use. Composting
speed and capacity on this unit is
outstanding! The large Bio-drum
engineered into the Excel gives it twice
the capacity of the Compact.

The Excel has been successfully tested by
the National Sanitation
Foundation for six continuous
months at its maximum residential
capacity of four adults. Key criteria
were that the unit operated odorlessly,
and produced a clean dry compost. For
weekend and vacation use the capacity is
6-8 people, and even these numbers can be
doubled for short periods.
The 2" vent is attached at the
top rear of the unit and can be installed
invisibly by running it through the wall and up
the outside wall. For comfort, the Excel has a
detachable footrest which can be removed to pull
out the finishing drawer.

Although
the Excel can normally evaporate all liquids, a
1¦2" emergency drain is fitted at the rear
and this should be connected if the unit is to be
used residentially or heavily, or if prolonged
power outages are expected.

Non-Electric
Model
The
success of the Excel design meant that a three
chamber unit could be specifically designed for
those with NO continuous 110 volt supply. First
launched in 1981, the Excel NE has long been the
standard toilet for those living off the grid. A
1998 redesign gave the unit a rounded look, and
recessed the drum handle.
The
Excel NE has no fan or heater. Odorless operation
is achieved by a 4" vent mounted at the top
rear of the unit which acts like a chimney on a
wood stove. For good air movement the vent should
be as close to vertical as possible.
If
the Excel NE is used residentially or heavily, or
is in a place which is subject to downdraft, an
optional 12 volt fan should be installed in the
vent stack. This fan draws 1.9 watts and can be
powered by a solar panel and 12 volt battery. The
fan should also be installed if there is to be
any bends in the vent stack, as the "chimney
effect" is negated by a bend.
Evaporating
capacity on the Excel NE is variable, so the
1" drain at the rear should be connected to
an approved drain pit, container, or other
facility.
